The Catholic chapel’s windows reflect red rock, and the shape of a cross.

A powerful place for prayer.

Inside, we listened to soft chanting and basked in the light.

I’ve been to ornamented churches around the world, including Prague and Mexico — but none had the energy of this simple Chapel.

As Leon puts it, “Sedona is a place that encourages people to look upward.”

Photos can’t convey the feeling of this place; I hope you’ll come and experience it for yourself.

Thanks to Leon and Geist for the epic road trip. Their band, Colosseum Thesis, is a surprising new visual music act that uses a progressive blend of genres such as rock, neoclassical, and jazz, complete with grandiose theatrical performances. Can’t wait for their debut performances and demo later this year.

Were you surprised by Sedona’s spirituality? Where do you go to regain calm and re-charge?

Wow! I TOTALLY want to go to Sedona now and I’m so jealous that my babycakes is going and I cannot go :( Le poop. BUT I LOVE this article and I LOVE your skull hair clip! The black shawl that Lemon is wearing is also tres chic!

I have been vacationing at Sedona, AZ on and off since the 70’s. My 2013 trip will be my last. Perhaps the crowds, the over commercialization and massive city growth, the trail parking fees – if you can find a spot, the enormous (30+) overzealous police force writing tickets to provide city income, have all contributed to this decision. Only at Boynton Canyon did I feel any energy at all. Other spots were like a noisy irreverent circus. This is not for me and I WON’T BE BACK.
